I grew up on Long Island, New York, where I graduated with a B.S. in nursing in 1980 and my M.S. and Nurse practitioner degrees in 1986 from S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook. I moved with my family to a small town in central Florida in 1987. I divorced and remarried, then decided to attend Nova-Southwestern University where I obtained my D.O. degree in 1997. I completed my internship and residency in Family Practice at ETSU Family Physicians of Kingsport in June 2000. My love of teaching and my great three years here as a resident, convinced me to stay on as a faculty member. I have three children. I enjoy spending time with my family in the wonderful outdoors! My interests include complementary medicine, energetic and spiritual healing systems, and traditional osteopathy. Dr. D'Aprile-Lubrano's e-mail address is: daprilej@mail.etsu.edu
